CLI routing not working with extend_api()

[akaihola]

As Eduardo Marinho reported on Stack Overflow:

I'm trying to use @hug.extend_api() for CLI routes but it's not working.

Calling hug -f run.py -c something, the command list is empty. The same code works fine for HTTP routing.

This is my main script (run.py):

import hug
from apitest import api


@hug.extend_api()
def apis():
   return [api]

This is apitest/api.py:

import hug


@hug.cli()  # cli route doesn't work
@hug.get('/')  # get route works fine
def root():
   return 'hello'

(ping @dudez20 in case you're the same guy here on GitHub)

Strangely, the test in #745 doesn't fail even though doing the same with the following main program fails to include the new command in the API:

tests/module_cli_main.py:

import hug
import module_fake_http_and_cli


API = hug.API(__name__)


@hug.extend_api('/api', API)
def extend_with():
    return [module_fake_http_and_cli]


if __name__ == '__main__':
    API.cli()

$ python tests/module_cli_main.py
__main__

Available Commands:

	- 

$ python tests/module_cli_main.py made_up_go
__main__

Available Commands:

	-

This is the (clumsy) work-around I'm using currently:

import hug
from module_fake_http_and_cli import made_up_go
from another_module import another_command


COMMANDS = [made_up_go, another_command]


API = hug.API(__name__)


commands = API.cli.commands
for command in COMMANDS:
    commands.update(command.interface.api._cli.commands)


@hug.extend_api('/api', API)
def extend_with():
    return {command.__module__ for command in COMMANDS}


if __name__ == '__main__':
    API.cli()

Should be resolved by: https://github.com/timothycrosley/hug/pull/747/files which is slated for the next release.

Thanks!
